Final Thoughts
The G7 SE is fairly lightweight and comfortable to hold, even for extended gaming sessions. Both the grips and the trigger buttons are textured so the controller shouldn’t slip, even if your hands are sweaty.
The Hall Effect sticks are smooth and are anti-drift so you shouldn’t have any issues during gaming, especially if you are playing something like Call of Duty.
The analogue triggers are great too – they feel good to use and are very responsive, as are the other buttons on the controller. There is also a microphone mute button on the centre on of the controller which is really easy to access if you quickly need to mute or unmute yourself in the middle of a game.
There are also two quick latch back buttons which can be used too.
The G7 SE also has a magnetically swappable faceplate – it’s very easy to remove and replace it with another faceplate. You only get the one in the box though so if you really want to swap it for another you need to buy it.
The controller also features rumble motors in the grips and triggers to help you be fully immersed in the gaming session.
You can use the Gamesir Nexus software on either Xbox or PC in order to fully customise the G7 SE to your liking, and it’s very easy to do. It can also store 3 additional profiles along with the default profile and its really easy to select whichever profile you want to use.
The GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox is available now priced around £49.99 and comes with a months free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
